Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes fire-roasted adds a nice smokiness
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or a non-dairy alternative for a lighter version
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Optional: Jalapeños for a spicy kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the ground beef or turkey in a large pot over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart to cook evenly.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and aromatic.
  3. Add the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, drained beans, corn, and broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
  6. Serve the soup in warm bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.
